This robust 3-axis dampening system is designed to stabilize roll and tilt errors, as well as vertical motion and vibrations, ensuring smooth, professional-grade footage even in challenging conditions.
Ideal for mounting on a variety of vehicles such as cars, ATVs, boats, and snowmobiles, this sturdy system is a must-have for filmmakers seeking superior stabilization. The Black Arm is a hardmount system, specifically designed for gimbals, and can handle higher loads ranging from 5-32kg (11-70 lbs).
The system comes complete with four 7.0mm springs and four 7.5mm springs, allowing for precise adjustment of the lift needed. You can configure the springs in single or dual setup on each side, offering flexibility based on your specific requirements.
The damping action of all axes - vertical, tilt, and roll - is controlled by custom-made actuator hydraulic dampers that are fully adjustable. With a 22-step knob, you can fine-tune the exact amount of damping needed for each shot. The system includes a total of six dampers, providing the option for dual dampers on each axis or keeping spares on hand.

The system is housed in a sleek, all-black Pro Case, featuring powder-coated black metal corners, heavy-duty recessed handles, and butterfly catches. The case is equipped with wheels for easy transportation, and the foam interior is also black, maintaining the clean, professional aesthetic.
Mounting the Black Arm is straightforward, designed to clamp onto a standard 48-52mm speed rail. The system offers several ways to attach your gimbal, with an included base plate featuring hole patterns to match the Freefly Toad in a hole and Cinemilled Universal Ronin mount. This makes it easy to attach MoVI and Ronin gimbals. Additionally, a Mitchell female mount is available for gimbals using the Mitchell connector.
